“Huh? You’re saying the entire city was covered in Head Quarters?”
“To be precise, that’s not it . How many Head Quarters were there?”
Park Jin Hyuk frowns in thought and looks at Kyoko . He can’t remember how many there were .
She looks at him pathetically, “There was one level 7, about 30 level 6s, and hundreds of nests and hatcheries, so we couldn’t count properly . The volume… Phew!”
It’s horrible to even think about, and Kyoko shakes her head .
Park Jin Hyuk, Kyoko, Violet, and Basil get a cold sweat when they even think about what happened .
Before Cha Jun Sung entered Path of Blood, Park Jin Hyuk’s group created a raid with the World Federation and entered a level B advance mission first .
But they didn’t come out until about half a month after Cha Jun Sung, who had remained inside his mission for some time .
The mutants they met inside that mission were the Head Quarters they had encountered at the Institute of Biological Sciences before, and there had been dozens of them . A large city had been contaminated by level 7 Head Quarters, but the only person in their group who had tried catching them in the virtual version had been Nine Tail .
“They’re layered by sequence of evolution like a hamburger, and the outside looked like a hatchery . I’m not lying, but levels 1 and 2 created several tens of thousands within moments . ”
Levels 1 and 2 mutants aren’t big threats to level B Lifers . They’re so weak that they can be swept away with just automatic cannons or reinforced rifles .
Even if there are tens of thousands of them .
The problem is that once this was repeated a few times, they started to use up all of the equipment they had brought . They can’t kill without laying a hand on them . After getting through the hatchery wall, it is a nest . Mutant levels went up to levels 3 and 4 as well . Those are still weak levels, but they rebel more .
“Head Quarters and nests are big, and they’re visible from far away, right? And wasn’t it a big city? Couldn’t you use something like a white phosphorous shell?”
Park Jin Hyuk shook his head .
There were so many hatcheries gathered together that there were a lot of different mutant types . There were all different types .
“Jun Sung . You know what Red Blood Worms are, right?”
“Ugh! Red Blood Worms? If those were there, that means they would have been everywhere . ”
Level 4 Red Blood Worms .
They spit out a liquid that is as red as blood, that becomes as hard as steel . They are weak in offense, but strong on defense .
A massive about of Red Blood Worms completed a block in the shape of a dome over several years, with Head Quarters living inside . Only a hole for Lifers to enter had been created, and the rest of the paths in and out had been blocked . The Lifers had struggled fiercely to created a way out .
They found out later, but the thickness had been 4m . That means it was like a steel wall 4m thick . They tried throwing bombs at it, but it only affected the outer wall . They were only able to reach the hatcheries once they had gotten through the wall of Red Blood Worms, and they took care of those sequentially .
“More than 600 people died . We had to fight head on against two level 7s and hundreds of level 6s that the Head Quarters created . ”
Head Quarters created a massive amount of powerful soldiers while the hatchery and nest created time .
And they created a total war .
“Ugh…! If it hadn’t been for Nine Tail, we might have been completely wiped out . ”
Nine Tail had said that they cannot leave the Head Quarters’ main body . He said that once they’re backed into a corner, the sub-objects **** nutrients from the main body .
Something about how if that happens, they could pick off the level 7s by the hour .
Park Jin Hyuk’s group works well together, so they took on the Head Quarters . The rest of the people fought the level 6 and 7s, but a lot of them died in that battle .
There weren’t 30 Lifers who advanced even with that sacrifice . Fortunately, Park Jin Hyuk’s group’s contribution was high, so they all advanced along with a few Rankers .
“Jun Sung, tell us what happened to you too . ”
“Me?”
What can he tell?
Cha Jun Sung explained his battles against Odelia, Narsiel, and Vanessa . Everyone listened with interest .
Rankers Koharu, Violet, and Basil in particular know that level 8s’ offense is stronger than people think .
It is difficult for even a total trailblazing level A Lifer to fight one-on-one against a level 8 . Even with the weakest, they need to stick with at least a party .
“Just because a mission level is high doesn’t always mean you need to enter with a force or raid . There are restrictions with larger numbers . ”
The maximum entry for level A missions is a 10,000 member core or corps .
If they go around in hordes, it is easier for mutants to spot them .
This means they could end up in an unnecessary battle .
Cha Jun Sung had not been bothered by other mutants in the Path of Blood while fighting against Evil Queen’s three daughters . He only fought with them .
If they had entered in threatening numbers from the beginning to fight the three daughters, there is a high probability that they would have had to go to war .
North America is Evil Queen’s region .
If she is the queen, her daughters are princesses . If a princess gives an order, soldiers do not have the authority to say no .
Sometimes, less is more . Having more people is better, but there are times when having small numbers is advantageous .
No matter how excellent the Lifers are, if there are too many people on a boat, the boat is bound to sink . Everyone has their own tendencies, so they are bound to make missteps . If they want to survive level S and A missions going forward, it is important that they take these kinds of matters into consideration and create maximum efficiency .
Park Jin Hyuk’s group took Cha Jun Sung’s words to heart .
This is advice from the experience of the only level S Lifer at this point in Life Mission .
Beep beep!
Park Jin Hyuk’s PDA rings .
He checks his phone reflexively . It isn’t a voice call, but it is a message someone left .
“Oh! Jun Sung?”
“Yeah . ”
“Strategist wants to see you . Stop putting him off and pick up . ”
Someone who doesn’t know might think that he doesn’t like Strategist . Cha Jun Sung isn’t avoiding him because he doesn’t like him . He just ignored him because he had something to do every time he called .
“Alright . ”
“He said he’s preparing some kind of project, so it’ll probably be about that . ”
“Project?”
“I don’t really know . Ask him yourself . Aha! We can go together . ”
Park Jin Hyuk wrote a response and decided on a time to meet .
Cha Jun Sung thought about the project .
What could it be?
He’ll know once they meet, right?
***
Cha Jun Sung’s jaw dropped when he saw the thousands of drawings laid out on the wide table .
He looked back and forth between the drawings and Strategist .
He doesn’t understand what the drawings mean . It is too complicated for him to be able to comprehend . Strategist stuck his tongue out too .
“So – so you’re saying you’re going to create what’s on this drawing?”
“I thought while completing the level B advance mission that no matter how much we raise our specifications, there are limits if we don’t have a giant weapon like Life Mission . ”
Cha Jun Sung looks down at the table again .
He cannot understand, but he knows what the drawings are meant to create and what it’ll be used for .
[Albatrus Blueprint]
– Albatrus: 1 billion points, 20 million achievement points
– 70% of Earth, it is an unknown world more than twice as large as combining all six continents . Even with scientific technology that can go beyond the sky and space, they could not take on the sea . The primary reason is that the tremendous pressure gets worse the lower they go in the deep sea! Defenseless nature has the power to crush any submarine . On top of that, ever since the A virus spread, ocean mutants increased and changed the environment for the worse . Since Life Mission was created as an all-in-one strategic weapon with all of the science they know, that is the Sub Alabatrus . If Lifers are able to make the Albatrus descend, there is the possibility that they become rulers of the sea!
To say it plainly, these thousands of drawings are a blueprint to create the Sub Albatrus . It even has the materials needed written down .
Strategist is thinking of making the Sub Albatrus .
“Wow . Won’t it be better to buy the finished product?”
Cha Jun Sung asked thoughtlessly .
It is a strategic weapon beyond the battlesuit . It is hundreds of times what a single individual is capable of buying .
“This is a drawing of something that can’t be found in level A, but level S . ”
Cha Jun Sung looks surprised .
Level S store?
There is no way Strategist would have opened level S . Could there have been another card?
